Brad,

That would be great and would save me another trip to the mechanic.
Although, I just went out to check the fuses. I gave a shot to the "force
dim" on the rearview mirror and I could clearly see that the mirror did dim.
The backup light is still on, however, so I removed the fuse for it and now
it won't turn on at all...

-Laurent.
